Happy Caturday! “Way down deep, we’re all motivated by the same urges. Cats have the courage to live by them...” 🐾🖤 Isn’t my Luna such a beauty? 🐈 Did you know that your beautiful and cuddly friend is actually a killing machine? 🐅 And they are obligate carnivores...this is why it’s important to play with your cat daily and feed them a high protein diet 🐾 Cats ideal diets are made up from proteins and fats derived from the small prey they’d catch and kill. 🐾 So most indoor cats aren’t out killing prey, however it’s very important to stimulate them with playing time and feeding them a high protein diet 🐾🖤 Speaking of high protein diets for cats...I’ll be at @concordpetfoods in Mount Laurel NJ today from 11-2 to discuss the benefits of a high protein diet for cats and the nutrition needs of dogs too 🐕 I’ll have feee samples of @stellaandchewys freeze dried raw food for cats and dogs 🐾 Come say hi and let’s chat 🐾

It's crazy how different animals act with their humans/at home than anywhere else. I mean, I get hating the doctor.. but she was deemed aggressive and they couldnt even take vitals at the vet...but the second she got home it was a complete 180, and let us do everything we've needed to so far.
Mad respect for everyone who works at any kind of vet office.

Happy Adoption/ Gotcha day to my mom and I 😻😻🥳! Flash back to when she and my Gigi were in their way home with me. (They drove 8 hours to get me!). Shout out to my ma! For being a first time cat owner, she pretty purrfect😻....although we do have to discuss this “no climbing on the counters” rule..😾

Friday night with Maizy and I 😽. ✨
Yesterday I posted on my IG stories about giving your day to God- no matter how stressful it is, no matter what’s going on around you...and watch how it changes your day. Trusting in Him despite what’s going on around you and knowing that He’s got you can give you the sweetest sense of peace in the craziness. But Gods kind of hilarious because as soon as I talked about it, today was a horrendous day on my floor. ✨
Well, it’s safe to say I didn’t pass the test. I was good for the first couple hours and then I just got completely overwhelmed and basically freaked out. When you start to panic , everything else starts to crumble too. I’ve had crazier days and when I give it to God, it doesn’t miraculously get better. But it helps me work better, take care of my patients better, and know that the situation I’m currently in is only temporary and it WILL be ok. ✨
Usually my go to when I’m stressed is to repeat a verse in my head that’s my favorite or to literally just say “my help comes from the Lord, the maker of heaven and earth”. Do you do anything to help remind you that Gods got you in stressful times? Also, do you feel like God tests you when you’re trying to be a good example?! 😭😂 #ifailed

🎼 Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday, My Sweet Cassius, Happy Birthday to you 🎶.

It is so hard to believe my sweet little guy is ELEVEN years old!!! It sometimes feels like just yesterday I brought him home from the trailer park...
•

But then I as I reflected on our eleven years together, I am soon reminded of all we have been through together... moving from MD to Va, from Alexandria to Annandale, from Annandale to Arlington, and from Arlington to Clinton...

Cassius has been by my side through the most devastating heart aches (we miss you,Mom & Jazzy), heart breaks, and terrible mistakes. We have also shared some of life’s greatest surprises, such as love, three additions to our little family, new careers and homes.

A little Cash Money in your life makes everything better.

Cheers to you and your 11th (I promise this is the last year we mention your age) #cassius

5 years ago I woke up ready for the best day of my life.
I know, I know, everyone says that and it's cliche, but honestly it was a truly amazing day. I did roll my ankle pretty badly and there were other little hiccups here and there but I would walk down that aisle to the same man, who was wiping away tears of joy, any day - and I do mean ANY day. And in some ways, that is marriage. No matter what happens in a day I intentionally make that choice every single day and walk through the door of our home to see his face again. Cody makes it way way too easy though, I could easily describe to you how I am surely the harder one to love. Most days you would be hard pressed to get me to complain about him, ask literally anyone. And that best day of my life, yes it was everything I had hoped for but still more lovely have been the days that followed.
For reasons I'll never understand, he would rather choose to spend time with me than any other human on any given day. For reasons I'll never understand, he supports my love of all creatures (he's even tried to have more respect for spiders on my behalf). For reasons I'll never understand, he has happily (and if you know him he doesn't necessarily tend to do things he doesn't whole heartedly want to do) spent everyday of the last 5 years by my side and makes it clear he has no intention of doing anything differently in the next 50+ years. Even if I'll never understand why he chose me, I am thankful and the sentiment is mutual.
Happy 5th Wedding Anniversary, Cody. I love you, my favorite.

👑Like her owner, she’s a total MOOD💁🏽‍♀️ Queenie 🐈
Dear Black People:
1) cats are not nasty the owner is 2) they will turn on you 3) they cleanse themselves often 4) fleas come from outdoor animals 5) they understand the word NO, 6) they can be trained not to jump on cabinets or go in certain area’s ex: kitchen = off guards 7) they know your moods 8) female cats are fiesty and possessive 8) house raised cats can be picky eaters #catmomlife

Henry is showing signs of improvement - his eyes are clearer today: I can see they are green 💚 and he is super curious, so has been given the run of the cat-free half of the house. The Predn has sorted the itching, extra vitamins have perked him up and good food has nourished him. This young fellow is looking better.
